Aston Villa Get Opportunity to Sign Struggling Forward Once Hailed as ‘The Next Aguero’
Aston Villa are actively exploring ways to strengthen their squad during the summer transfer window and have reportedly been presented with a chance to secure an intriguing attacking option at Villa Park.
The club has moved past the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) deadline, which previously put financial pressure on several Premier League teams. In a strategy similar to Chelsea’s, Villa sold a share in their women’s team, raising approximately £55 million. This transaction has eased financial constraints, giving Villa some breathing room to operate more freely in the market.
After another strong season under manager Unai Emery—capped by qualification for the Europa League—the club is motivated to build on that momentum. Villa’s leadership believes this is the right moment to reinforce the squad with fresh talent and continue their progress as a competitive force domestically and in Europe.
One name on Aston Villa’s radar is Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga. Despite Newcastle United’s reported interest in the Swedish international, Villa are also considering making a move for him. However, it remains uncertain whether they can outmaneuver Newcastle to secure his signature.
In addition to Elanga, Aston Villa are reportedly eyeing Galatasaray midfielder Gabriel Sara. Reports indicate the Turkish champions have already received a bid from Villa for the playmaker. However, Galatasaray are determined to recover around £34 million for the Brazilian and are hoping other clubs—such as Manchester City, Manchester United, and Leeds United—will also join the chase and drive up the price through competition.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have finally completed the permanent exit of Philippe Coutinho, who has joined Vasco da Gama. His departure marks the end of a long-running saga and provides another boost to Villa’s financial situation under PSR regulations, freeing up additional resources for summer recruitment.
With funds now available and a clear ambition to strengthen key areas of the squad, Aston Villa’s recruitment team is expected to be highly active in the coming weeks. Whether they ultimately secure Elanga, Sara, or the forward once tipped to become “the next Aguero,” it’s clear the club intends to capitalize on its recent success and maintain its upward trajectory under Emery’s leadership.
Supporters are hopeful that the combination of financial maneuvering and targeted signings will enable Villa to cement their place among England’s top clubs while making a serious impact in European competition.
